Mad World Shocks The Darkness By Reaching Christmas Number One

Mad World, Gary Jules & Michael Andrews' song from the hit film Donnie Darko, a cover of the eighties' hit by Tears For Fears, has beaten off fierce competition to become the UK's official Christmas number one.

The Darkness'Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End) was the midweek favourite, but ended up at number two after a surge of sales for Mad World were sparked by Gary Jules' performance on Late Night With Johnathan Ross.
